The Void
Wow. We did it. Over the last four years, we’ve written about almost every single biome in the game. What a long, strange trip it’s been! I'm not gonna lie – my feet hurt a little!
We’ve explored
plains,
sunflower plains,
badlands,
eroded badlands,
meadows,
mushroom fields,
savannas and
windswept savannas. We’ve roamed through
forests,
birch forests,
dark forests,
flower forests,
windswept forests,
cherry groves,
jungles,
sparse jungles,
bamboo jungles,
wooded badlands, and taigas of all kinds –
snowy,
old-growth, and even
old-growth pine.
We’ve waded through
swamps,
mangrove swamps,
rivers,
frozen rivers,
beaches,
snowy beaches, and
stony shores. We’ve sailed across
warm oceans,
lukewarm oceans,
deep lukewarm oceans,
cold oceans,
deep cold oceans, and skidded out of control across the surface of
frozen oceans.
We’ve experienced temperature extremes in
deserts,
desert lakes,
tundras,
ice spikes,
snowy slopes,
jagged peaks,
windswept hills, and
frozen peaks, and spelunked through
lush caves,
dripstone caves, and the
deep dark.
We’ve even crossed dimensions – popping through an obsidian portal to the
Nether wastes,
basalt deltas,
soul sand valleys,
crimson forest, and
warped forest, and journeying to the
End highlands and
small End islands.
So, where is left to go?
Well, we don’t rule out bringing this column back occasionally in the future as Mojang Studios’ top cartographers keeps discovering new biomes in new updates. But in the meantime, there’s only one place left to explore. I’m talking about the space below the world – the chasm where you’ll find yourself falling if you somehow break your way through bedrock, through the bottom of the Nether, or if you take a wrong step in the End. A place with no blocks, no light, no plants or animals, and no hope of escape.
The void.
It’s in this silence, this absence, that our curiosity meets its limits. The void is a reminder of the uncharted, the unknown that lies beyond the edges of every map, which watches, waits, and welcomes us with open arms. The void is the end of Around The Block. But perhaps it’s where a new adventure begins?
